The Awesomeness At Skydive Elsinore

Shannon Seyb — Wed, 22 May 2013 11:50:12 +0000

It’s super-mega-duper-epic-out-of-this-world dynamic flying, that’s what it is! With the line up of coaches like Peter Nilsson, Mikey Carpenter, Petter Jonsson, Steph Soria and countless of the other badasses featured in this vid, FlajFlaj at Skydive Elsinore is the Burning Man of sky jumping. You’ve GOT TO be there next year! I have no idea if you can pre-register this early (probably not), but I’m ’bout to call up Elsinore and get my name on the list.

More Fly-Fly In The Sky-Sky

Shannon Seyb — Thu, 02 May 2013 11:50:22 +0000

Watching this video of FlajFlaj (pronounced Fly-Fly) at Skydive Elsinore literally put my life in perspective. Oh yeah… this is why I don’t have a life, why I work all week to play on weekends, why I count up my food and rent bill in jump tickets — a new currency. This is why I skydive, to find myself in places this awesome, doing jumps this badass, with some of the coolest people in the world. Gets me thinking that I should look at flight prices to the US of A for next March. See you there next year Peter, I promise!

Friday Freakout: Bridle Wrap, Wingsuit Rodeo Goes Wrong

Andrew — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 11:50:28 +0000

What could possibly go wrong with a wingsuit rodeo — if it doesn’t work out, you just fall off the wingsuit and business as usual, right? Think again. Remember, wingsuits have large burbles. Here’s what can happen if you pitch while on the back of a wingsuit, not to mention the extra pucker factor of your bridle wrapping around your camera while the pilot chute bounces around in said burble. Sliding off the side of the wingsuit is safer for both parties. Thanks to Spot for the video and advice.

FlajFlaj: The Epicenter of Awesome

Sydney Williams — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:50:15 +0000

FlajFlaj (pronounced Fly-Fly) is pretty much the epicenter of awesome freefly learning at Skydive Elsinore. The group, led by Peter Nilsson, invades Lake Elsinore, CA every year and dominates the skies, five days a week, for two weeks. They started with 13 people in 2007, and at last report, had 111 participants and 24 coaches in 2013. Here is the edit of week two by the lovely Lika Borzova. Dates for 2014 are already set, check it out here.

Slow-Mo Swoop Session At Skydive Elsinore

Everyone likes watching pretty swoops, duh. So we decided to slow it down a bit to give you a little extra enjoyment. And of course, a nod of love and a little blue steel to JT, who rocked this -ISM Swoop Comp at Skydive Elsinore in 2010.

BONEAnza 2012: Bananas, And Condoms, And Rodeos! Oh My!

Sydney Williams — Mon, 03 Sep 2012 11:50:27 +0000

[Music is NSFW] Okay, so there’s more to Skydive Elsinore’s BONEAnza boogie than wingsuit rodeos, bananas and condoms, but obviously Lana’s jump with Spot is the highlight of this video. She can roll it like a pro. Lol. Have you ever tried putting a condom on a banana in freefall? C’mon, be honest…

Crankworx Mountain Bike Skydive Stunt From 10,000ft

Andrew — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 12:31:21 +0000

To celebrate their first year of sponsoring the Crankworx Whistler freeride mountain bike festival, Bud Light Canada attempts the most epic mountain bike drop from 10,000 feet with a bag packed full of goodies. Skydiving with a mountain bike is right up there with riding a bike off a 3,500ft cliff in Norway.

Half Past 2012: When Swedes Invade The Southwest

Sydney Williams — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 11:50:41 +0000

Check out some of Johanne’s footage from the first half of the 2012 skydiving season. Sweet angle flying in Elsinore, Eloy, and Sweden — and maybe a little bit ‘o pie… to the face. If you could take a year off to travel and skydive anywhere in the world, where would you go?

No Man Left Behind: Redefining Teamwork

Sydney Williams — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 11:50:36 +0000

Have you ever gone low on a formation? Look at me in the (virtual) eye and tell me you haven’t. This is the tale of Round 4 at Skydive Elsinore’s Poker Run Competition. John Hamilton saves the low man with flying skills reminiscent of Clark Kent. His team goes on to win the gold medal by one point. No Man Left Behind.

Kickass Swoop Comp Finals at Skydive Elsinore

Melanie Curtis — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 11:50:31 +0000

Great turnout for the ISM 2010-2011 Swoop Competition at Skydive Elsinore. I have swooped this pond MANY times myself, and so to see these guys hitting it with the downwind push… yeah, NOT easy to shut it down and stand up in those accuracy zones (and most don’t)! Distance, now that’s another story… love the downwind! The one big crash is saved ’til the end of the video, so stick it out. Nice work, guys, and all you swoopers, be careful out there!!!

Exploring The Blue Skies: Life In A Wingsuit

Andrew — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 12:07:16 +0000

What’s it like traveling from dropzone to dropzone, exploring the blue skies and living life in a wingsuit? That’s the life of Richard Schneider, and he put together an awesome collection of his journey – from Skydive Elsinore in California, Skydive City (aka Z-Hills) in Florida, Skydive Mesquite in Nevada and Vega Baja in Puerto Rico. It’s a tough life, but someone’s gotta do it.

SHOCKING: Wingsuiters ‘Going Down’

Andrew — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 12:32:37 +0000

Ok, ok… so maybe some skydiving porn wasn’t what you were expecting (or maybe it was). Douglas and Matt get a little too close to each other in their wingsuits and end up ‘bumping uglies’ on an awkward jump at Skydive Elsinore. Thanks to Douglas Spotted Eagle for the edit; the music and blurry/pixelated face are hilarious. Skydiving porn FTW!
